Dr Pat Gleeson was the brains behind the electronics in the Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi bands, the pioneering electronic / fusion band of the mid 1970's. See Eddie Henderson elsewhere in this blog.It was his contributions that gave these albums there spacy feel and made them all classics.
This as a solo album of electronic instruments only. It was not until listening to it again that I realized that it really is a fine album in its own right. I can't really say much more about this album, as I know very little myself. A search of the the reveals little as well, just 3 albums released in 30 odd years and an album with fellow Mwandish, Bennie Maupin.
An interesting footnote to the great Hancock fusion band of the mid 1970's
Keep Listening!

I knew nothing about this one previously. Cheers a bunch for hipping me to this, I've always admired the electronic experiments of this period, just before MIDI completely ruined everything.
I have and love this album, nice post ;-)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE reupload this album I have been looking for it for years PLEASE.
thank you very much
I have downloaded Rainbow Delta from a gentle member of PrognotFrog, but unfortunately it is a LP rip not a CD copy, anyway it is better than nothing, although I have this LP, there is a new cd of this album indeed, Does anybody have it? it will be great to listen to a clean new CD.
PS. How can we get in contact with MICAUS?
thx
